I'm delighted to find both - a lot of friends from the Apache Software
Foundation but also a great many speakers that aren't affiliated with the ASF
among the speakers.

If you want to know how Open Source really works, if you want to get a glimpse
behind the stage, do not wait for too long to grab your ticket now and join us
in summer in Berlin/ Germany.

If project management is only partially of your interest, we have you covered as
well: For those interested in storing, searching and scaling data analysis, Berlin Buzzwords is scheduled to take
place in the same week. For those interested in Tomcat, httpd, cloud and iot, Apache Roadshow is scheduled to happen on
the same days as FOSS Backstage - and your FOSS Backstage ticket grants you
access to Apache Roadshow as well.

If you're still not convinced - head over to the conference website and check out the
talks available yourself.
